Perhaps someone has asked for this already, but one thing I like in the new xoops2 is the common comments functions. I'd like to see something similar when it comes to ratings. So it would be easy to apply ratings to anything on the site, ie. news stories, faq questions, forum posts, etc.
thanks

if you're concerned about this...
there are a few things you 'could' do...what i did was just put some meta lines into my default theme's themeheader function:
from theme.php in the bluely directory (as that's my default theme:
if you check www.bcollar.org on that site you listed, you'll see my keywords show up. you could do this in a host of other places as well, like in the functions.php file, and actually change the XOOPS meta tags to do it this way instead, i just chose the theme.php cause i didn't want to change anything in the main XOOPS files..
but like others have said, keywords aren't really used by the major search engines, google has it's own ranking system which is based off of the content in your site, not your meta tags.

what do you think the 'standard' for this is? i've been looking at...curious about...wanting to setup...or write..or port...a webmail system that would be integrated into xoops, so i can just goto my site and when i log in, it'll tell me if i have new messages as well as allow me to view them.
the question is, what do other people want? is something on the level of say yahoo/hotmail needed? or is the integration of something like squirrelmail/etc good enough? when i say integration, i mean having a config where you'd setup your imap/pop server/servers. not having to log in after you've clicked on a link. and possibly importing that mail into the XOOPS pm folder...which then leads to folder support/filters/etc...
i'd like to work on this, but it depends on how 'integrated' you mean. something that directly interacts with the pm folder, would require 'core' changes. something that is simply an 'internet messaging' block, with typical webmail tools, could be done as a module.
anyway, this is getting off topic from the original post
i think XOOPS is a wonderful tool, and as a developer, i think it's extremely easy to work with...rather than all this extra functionality built into the 'core'...i think XOOPS simply needs a few more quality modules to support this functionality, like webmail, contacts, tasks, journal, newsletter...not just wrapped up ports of other existing php apps that are not integrated with xoops.
You must consider having a proper integrated webmail system for multiple POPs

I've been using/messing with/making some modules for XOOPS for a few weeks now, and love it. I had messed around with phpnuke/postnuke some, and truely feel XOOPS is a much nicer solution.
It seems that a decent amount of people agree with me on this, but why are there SO many more phpnuke users? There really doesn't seem to be any 'killer apps' or more themes..or more modules for phpnuke...
But I look at xoops.org, and see maybe 15-30 guests or members online. you look at phpnuke.org and there are hundreds if not thousands?
what can we do to convince more people that XOOPS is the way to go? or does anyone have any theory as to why so many people use phpnuke over xoops? is it just a legacy type thing?
